Note: "
The red inclusions in many quartz crystals, often labelled by sellers as "lepidocrocite", are in fact normally hematite. We are unaware of any analytically confirmed red translucent scaly lepidocrocite as inclusions in quartz crystals. Likewise, colourfully iridescent mammillary "turgite" crusts are sometimes sold as "lepidocrocite" but are usually goethite.
